Private Utility Locating in Fountain, CO

Fountain and southern El Paso County
Private lines found and marked before you dig
811 marks the utility-owned lines up to your meter. Everything past the meter is yours: the gas line to a shop, power to a hot tub, sprinkler mains, the sewer lateral. 811 does not mark those. Sewer and septic lines are traced from the cleanout as a separate service with its own price.
We mark the gas, power, water and sprinkler lines: we trace them with an electromagnetic locator, sweep with ground-penetrating radar for what carries no signal where the job calls for it, and paint the results in APWA color code (the standard utility paint colors) at the line's position on the surface. Anything we could not find goes in writing, so you know where to hand-dig.

Anything else, call or text (719) 800-4937.
811 marked my lines in Fountain. Why do I still need you?
Because 811 marks only the utility-owned lines up to your meter. The gas line to a shop, the power to a hot tub and the sprinkler mains past it are yours, and those are what we mark.
What services do you offer in Fountain?
Private utility locating past the meter, sewer lateral tracing from the cleanout, and concrete scanning before you cut or core.
Do you locate sewer lines in Fountain?
Yes, as a separate service with its own price: we trace the sewer lateral from the cleanout. The sewer line on your property is private, and 811 does not mark it there.
